So sad, he had his whole life ahead of him.. R.I.P
Why on earth would people be red thumbing your comment?
Disgusting.
RIP to that poor chap & condolences to his family
Very true. There’s some very sick people in Ireland. No respect any more for anything.

I gave up commenting on most things on the Journal because of red thumb idiots . If they represent a sizeable percentage of the readership then anyone making intelligent comment on anything are wasting their time.
Thanks for the red thumbs you 57 losers & counting….
They don’t represent any appreciable percentage. Or appreciable anything else.
At all.
I’m nearly crying reading this…poor lad and his family, just a kid, gone too soon.
That’s tragic, awful. My sympathies to the family
Rip very sad
How awful : ( rest in peace x deepest condolences to his family and friends prayers with them x

Crying here. My son is the same age and I selfishly don’t want to even try to put myself in his family’s place. I am so sorry for them all and so sad that this young life is over. RIP Jamie Shaw. You’ve touched a lot of people tonight.
R.I.P Condolences to his family and friends.
So sad today in the college, couldn’t believe when I heard. RIP Jamie.
Who the hell gives a thumbs down to such a sentiment. They are sick!
For right handed scrollers the red thumb is easily misclicked.
Very sad & a long way from home. Jamie Shaw RIP.
So sad when people,young or old die alone. RIP

B’héidir go bhfuil sé in am fáil réidh leis na hordóga suas agus síos. Is cosúil ó na teachtairí leis an scéal brónach seo go bhfuil mí-úsáid á bhaint astu. Solas síoraí ar an bhfear óg bocht.
Show some respect Journal, please use first name when reporting tragedy like this, you only use surname when some kind of evil been done
I go to college at Sligo and it made me very depressed to find out about this :( While I was enjoying myself with my housemates on our nights out so far this week, I am very grateful that nothing terrible has happened to us and we’re still doing good. Life can take a traumatic turn at anytime and it’s important to keep the ones we care most for close and make the most of everyday. RIP Jamie Shaw
